Warby Parker "Miles" frames in Amber on me<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve been needing new glasses – I have so much astigmatism, when my glasses get bent they don’t work anymore.<\/p>\n

The girlfriend of one of the co-op board members came into the after-party at the bar yesterday evening wearing these totally cool glasses with orange frames. My board colleague said she got them from Warby Parker<\/a>, an online glasses buying place, that does a buy one, give one deal – for every pair of glasses they sell to a full-price customer, they give a pair to a poor person somewhere in the world. It’s $95 per pair of glasses. And there’s an avatar system where you upload a picture of yourself to virtually try on your new glasses.<\/p>\n

I gave it a try this morning – and was a little disappointed that they don’t do lineless biofocals; they’re too hard to fit, virtually – so I don’t get a whole new pair of glasses, ready to wear, shipped to my door, for $95. But I got the frames, anyways. Warby Parker will ship them to me with non-prescription lenses, and they take off 10%. And I’ll just take them to an optician here in Madison, and have the non-prescription lenses popped out and my prescription lenses put in. It’ll cost a little more than the $95 (actually quite a bit more – my lenses are like $110 each…) but they’ll give a pair to someone who needs them, and I think I’m getting some frames I’ll really like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
